We really are inspired by their work. At times we have considered trying to start a wildlife rehab center, but the red tape, facility requirements, and sheer devotion are intimidating. Not to mention the emotional impact of watching so many animals die while you’re trying to help them. It makes us very grateful for groups like REGI who are devoting themselves to this.

We saw the swan just the other day, and he/she was playing in the water, doing back-rolls and preening feathers. We got some fun video and can’t wait to see the swan again!

Thanks for sharing this heart-warming story! People like Marge and the other great folks at the REGI are so important and they really set an example to all of us on how we should relate to our wild family members.

I hope to see some updates on how your young swan friend!

I’m also glad to have two beautiful new blogs on my reader!

Thanks so much for sharing your story. We were amazed at the picture — we’ll place it in the above post for everyone to see!

Marge must have been thrilled to meet you two. Who wouldn’t be?

It truly was thrilling. And we were so excited to read about your quest to find the white squirrel! (This is a hint for other readers to follow the link to her blog and read her latest entry, which will lead you on your own quest to yet another blog where you can see photos of this amazing creature.)

Thanks for the support you gave to the wildlife rescuers. A very good cause.
